Recognition for GMB at DHL

GMB has signed a recognition agreement with logistics provider DHL which will cover drivers at a Marks & Spencer Distribution Centre in Bradford.

GMB, the union for workers in wholesale and retail distribution, signed the collective bargaining agreement with DHL following lengthy discussions and negotiations. The agreement will cement DHL's commitment to working with GMB to provide a positive working environment for their employees.

Neil Cole, GMB organiser, said: "It has taken a while to get to this point but both sides are happy with the agreement and we look forward to working closely with the company. These are exciting times for the M&S contract which is due to expand very soon and will bring new jobs to the area."

Richard Pollard, GMB shop steward said: "This is a great opportunity for GMB to fully engage with DHL to represent our members and negotiate on pay and conditions."
